  New Monograph by Simen Johan

  Simen Johan will release a new self-titled monograph in March of this year, published Powerhouse Books. The volume includes an introduction by Hugo Fortin, and contains key works from the artist’s series Until the Kingdom Comes. Until the Kingdom Comes explores the natural world through Johan’s signature process of combining parts taken from a multitude of images to create a single climactic scene. The resulting images are theatrical, seemingly staged depictions of animals and natural features, imbued with a human quality through sheer dramatic gravity.
